The second half of the book critically examines the unintended consequences of the abortion decisions in law, politics, and women's health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy do the abortion decisions remain so controversial after almost 40 years, despite more than 50,000,000 abortions, numerous presidential elections, and a complete turnover in the Justices? Why did such a sweeping decision--with such important consequences for public health, producing such prolonged political turmoil--come from the Supreme Court in 1973? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnswering those questions is the aim of this book. The controversy over the abortion decisions has hardly subsided, and the reasons why are to be found in the Justices' deliberations in 1971-1972 that resulted in the unprecedented decision they issued. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiscuss \u003ci\u003eAbuse of Discretion\u003c\/i\u003e on Twitter using hashtag \u003cb\u003e#AbuseOfDiscretion\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClarke D.
